Blisworth Football Club adopted TeamFeePay’s fundraising feature to generate a new, sustainable income stream for the club. With minimal setup effort and ongoing support from their Account Manager, what started as a simple prize draw has become one of the club’s most consistent and low-maintenance sources of revenue.
Like many grassroots clubs, Blisworth FC needed a way to generate income beyond membership fees — something that didn’t place a heavy burden on volunteers or require significant ongoing effort to maintain.
The club also needed a solution that was accessible enough for all members to sign up to independently, without creating extra work for the committee.
Blisworth FC set up TeamFeePay’s fundraising feature with support from Account Manager Stephen Doherty, who got the prize draw up and running quickly and provided practical guidance on how to encourage member sign-ups from the outset. The monthly contribution was set at a level affordable enough that members were happy to set it up and leave it running — with some even continuing to participate after leaving the club.
To support members who struggled to sign up independently, the club displayed QR codes throughout the clubhouse, making it easy for anyone to get help from a committee member on the spot. Once set up, the scheme required virtually no ongoing input from the club.
The fundraiser has exceeded expectations and become a cornerstone of Blisworth FC’s income strategy. With 80 members entered and £300 paid out in monthly prizes, the club now generates approximately £500 per month — a net return achieved with minimal effort.
The support from TeamFeePay throughout has made the experience straightforward and stress-free, and Blisworth FC would not hesitate to recommend it to other clubs.
In twelve years, Drumaness Mills went from twelve children to over 180. Facilities built for two senior men’s teams were suddenly in use five nights a week, and the club was paying up to £95 an hour to train elsewhere. Grants funded the building work that followed, but the club still had its own side of the loan to service.
A supporters draw with TeamFeePay is what helps cover it. It brings in money every month without asking members for more, it’s become something the club looks forward to, and it gives funders what a one-off fundraiser never can: proof the club can generate consistent recurring income.
Darran McQuoid has been Club Secretary at Drumaness Mills for fifteen years, and part of the youth setup since it began. He also works at TeamFeePay as Club Development Team Leader.
“The biggest thing for us as a club was to try and stay in the community and develop the facilities within the community,” he says — so that local children “would have a facility to be proud of, and a facility that enabled them to train in good conditions and in the best facilities possible all year round.”
Newhaven Youth FC, based on the South Coast of England, is home to more than 200 members. Like most grassroots clubs, its committee runs on volunteer hours — and those hours were increasingly going on registration paperwork and back-office admin rather than the club itself.
Falkirk Foundation is a community organisation working with partners across Scotland to bring football and community programmes to those who need them most. With over 1,100 members, 100+ volunteer coaches, and a year-round calendar of camps, schools football, mental health courses, first aid courses, and employability programmes, the administrative demands on the Foundation’s staff are significant. TeamFeePay has brought everything into one place — transforming payment collection, camp management, and safeguarding in the process.
Ballymacash Rangers Ladies was co-founded in 2018 and has grown into a club driven by a passionate committee of volunteers — many of whom are also playing members. Balancing full-time jobs, training, and the demands of running a club meant that finding a smarter way to manage finances and administration wasn’t just helpful — it was essential. TeamFeePay has given the club the clarity, stability, and breathing room they need to plan not just for this season, but for the future.
Liverpool FA oversees one of the country’s most active grassroots football communities, supporting 470 clubs, 3,400 teams, and over 33,000 players across the county. With a network of that scale, helping clubs operate efficiently, sustainably, and in line with safeguarding requirements is a significant undertaking. TeamFeePay has become a key partner in that mission — giving clubs the tools to manage their finances, administration, and compliance in one place, and freeing up the volunteers who make grassroots football possible.
FC Abbey Meads was formed in 2003 and has grown into a large grassroots club with over 40 teams. For years, collecting and reconciling payments meant a monthly ritual of bank statements, handwritten checklists, and chasing parents for missing subs. TeamFeePay put an end to all of that — and gave the club’s administrators their time back.
